Date:	1969
Medium:	Original Lithograph

Note:	Paul Wunderlich: A Leading German painter, printmaker and sculptor, Paul Wunderlich studied art at the Landeskunstschule in Hamburg (1947-1951), under Willi Titze and Willem Grimm. His first one man exhibition of art took place in Lubeck, Germany, in 1949. Since that time his paintings and lithographs have been the subject of numerous solo exhibitions in such far ranging countries as Japan, the United States, Finland, New Zealand, Italy and England. Wunderlich’s original lithographs have won such awards as the Deutsche Kunstpreis de Jugend fur Grafik, Mannheim (1960), the Gold Medal, Florence, (1970), the Gold Medal, Print Biennale, Listowell, Ireland (1978), and the Prize for Art at the Graphic Art Museum, Kamakura, Tokyo.
	Paul Wunderlich began devoting a great deal of his efforts to the art of lithography when he lived and worked in Paris from 1960 to 1963. Upon his return to Germany in 1963 he accepted the post of Professor at the Hochschule fur Bildende Kunste, Hamburg. Today the lithographs of Paul Wunderlich are found in many major, international collections, including, the British Museum, London, the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris, the Hirshhorn Museum, Washington, the Museum Boysmans van Beuningen, Rotterdam, the Museum Atheneum, Helsinki, Landesmuseum, Hannover, and Staatsgalerie fur Moderne Kunst, Munich. Paul Wunderlich currently both lives and works in Hamburg and in the South of France.
	Paul Wunderlich’s first lithographs and paintings were composed in an abstract style. During the early 1960’s, however, he adopted the more surrealist style for which his art has become famous. Sexuality and sensuality lie at the core of his often unsettling but always challenging art. Through both distortion and dream-like imagery he has created a symbolically potent world of his own.
	In "La Fleur" Paul, Wunderlich created a haunting image dominated by strong diagonal and horizontal lines. This famous lithograph was published in a sole edition of 75 impressions in 1969. "La Fleur" translates to (The Flower).
